Dragon Trophy Update #5

Life goes on, but mostly gets in the way of the REALLY important stuff, like making a dragon.
So I added the top row of teeth.....
Then added the tongue, and put a rough paint job down for the inside of the mouth...
Then added the fins to the sides of the neck (bent wire, grocery bags, glue gun and a heat gun...ooooo I love my tools)....
Wrapped the horns with fabric soaked with paper mache/glue mixture and added some texture with paper clay....

Now, it will dry untill I can make some more paper clay with the new method I found online. When you finish boiling the paper and blending it with a multitude of kitchen tools, you put it in a pillow case and tie off the end, then throw it in the dryer. The end result is paper fibres that have 'pilled' like a sweater, only about 3 lbs of it at a time. This provides a bumpy, pebble like texture that I'm using for a monster skin sort of look. The pictures don't reflect it yet, but will show more when painted.


Keep you updated!!
